Phagebook is a Clotho 3.0 app that serves as a social networking interface incorporating lab inventory management and project/personnel networking. Phagebook facilitates collaboration amongst the synthetic biology community and like any other Clotho app, it directly communicates with Clotho apps for specification, design, assembly, and verification of synthetic biological systems.
Key Features
